I Follow Rivers

I Follow Rivers- Lykke Li

Fall has decided that it wants to be late to it's own party out here. What a jerk! But as long as school is still a go and pumpkin spice lattes are cropping up on menus, then I really don't mind all that much and will continue to soak up this gorgeous sunshine.

 Although, when it's boiling outside and you've switched your wardrobe to layers, sweaters and boots you stand to have some awkward layer-shedding moments! I loved this slouchy lazy day outfit but by the time I got home I was sadly only wearing the dress (luckily I'd snuck in the flip flops that Cougar had sent along with these boots, very smart thinking on their part!) 

Knit Slouch Sweater- H&M, Printed Dress- Hurley via Winners, Pillow Boots- c/o Cougar, Grey Knee Socks- Dollarama, Brown Belt- Vintage, Gold Necklace- Joe Fresh, Wrap Bracelet- Club Monaco

And now to the star of this outfit, the vintage-style Pillow Boots from Cougar! Seriously, how awesome are these beauties? Practical and pretty... my feet are going to love me when winter sets in! 

The Pillow Boot is a Canadian classic that was launched by Cougar in 1976 and has just been relaunched this Fall with these limited edition modern take on the classic. The fact that they're crazy cozy, can battle the Canadian winter and look cute makes them my superheroes, I can't wait to put them to the test when the snow starts to fall. Although, I hope that's not going to be anytime too soon!

Hush

Hush- Angus and Julia Stone

Such a lazy, cozy Sunday- exactly what I needed. I headed down to Seattle for the day on Saturday (just because I could!)  and didn't get home till late, so getting the chance to laze around for most of the day today was delightful! 

I didn't get any shots of Seattle... I was not on the ball that morning! But I did stop by the outlets on the way back and found this adorable little duck Kate Spade umbrella and a comfy sparkle sweater from Jcrew. Getting them both for ridiculous low prices just made it even sweeter. 

Umbrella- Kate Spade, Silver Foil Sweater- Jcrew, Black LEggings- Joe Fresh

Now excuse me while I curl up with my book and go to bed at 9. I know, Rockstar! 

How was your weekend?

1979

1979- Smashing Pumpkins

What's better on a crisp fall day than layering a bunch of knits, one on top of another until you're as snug as a bug? I was deliciously cozy wearing my many layers this evening while running my (last minute!) errands. I love both this crochet dress and the knit sweater so much, it had never occurred to me to mash them up together though, until I found a gorgeous photo of an outfit full of knit pieces. Lightbulb! 

Crochet Dress: French Connection, Knit Sweater: Urban Outfitters, Grey Scarf: Ralph Lauren, Camel Desert Boots: Liz Claiborne via Winners, Grey Knee High Socks: Dollarama, Turquoise Earrings: Aldo

Time is flying by, in a mere 4 days I'll be heading out on my France trip!! Which I'm so thrilled about (and also secretly terrified for! I've never been traveling by myself, but I've heard it's something everyone should try...wish me luck!) There are a million loose ends to tie before then, hence the blogging absence :(. But I think I've almost covered everything... even lining up a few posts while I'm away! Now excuse me while I pat myself on the back lol!
